Given the police are using AI to identify protestors.....this gives me an idea.
We all need to do special effects make-up, masks and disguising.
What's your idea? Wearing a mask?

how is this funny? it just shows how stupid these things are.
Revealing something meant to be serious, as also being ridiculous is like one of the main answers to the question of how comedy works...
Satire. If you're going to burn, you may as well make jokes about charred flesh
Right? It's only funny if he voted for the people who put this policy in place.

There wasn’t really a viable alternative. The Conservatives were also intending to put something like this in place.
Wasn't it the tories who passed this act and then labor who just pushed ahead hard with it when they got voted in?
It's funny BECAUSE it shows how stupid they are... this is almost toddler-level comedy basics. It's stupid, disturbing and fucked up, but also funny. Funny doesn't mean it can't be anything else, it's not an exclusive thing. Many things that are bad, wrong, disturbing etc. are also funny.
Sarcasm is a form of comedy
I hope this email reaches you.
If you're even trying to verify yourself with this bullshit then you're already losing.
Sometimes you have to in order to do your job. Let's say you are a researcher, and the information you need to access is footage on YouTube which has been age restricted.

He should get a mask with a normal face on it.
And some fava beans.
And a nice bottle of Chianti!
A fuckload of concealer
I'd imagine anyone who's survived a fire or acid attack is also getting fucked by this
I can't take AI proctored exams because I have a lazy eye and it tracks whether or not you're looking at the screen. It's the main thing keeping me from getting a bachelor's because most associates to bachelor's RN programs are entirely online.
Thats absurd, you can't raise hell and get some sort of exception? I'd be angry.
Haven't figured out the best plan. After a quick therapy sesh with the hobos at the bus stop I'm thinking I'm just gonna study the subject matter and see if I can test out of the relevant courses at a testing center (instead of a course with multiple smaller tests).
That's an easy fix:
I'm imagining him applying pancake makeup before he logs on for a gooning session.
2025 has some ridiculous one-liners unmatched by history.
Maybe if he wore a mask, it would work?
Get a silicon mask then?
Britain has a face check? For what?
The new Online Safety Act over there. They make you scan your face and follow instructions (step forward, turn left, open your mouth, etc.) to access a lot of websites now. It's creepy, and something similar seems to be being pushed in every western country simultaneously now.
They've the same for banks now here. Very creepy.
Just to be clear the law doesn't say you have to scan your face. That's just one option to verify a persons age and websites (and users) are choosing that method. I believe other options are to use a credit card or maybe show some kind of government ID. It's all fucked but the government aren't making people scan their faces, that's just one viable method.

The stated reason is to protect children from porn and such. The real reason maybe (as it often is whenever they say it is about protecting children) an excuse to extend surveillance as much as possible.
Every "for the children!" law is always just about control. If they actually cared about children, these governments would pass laws or take actions that actually help. I imagine asking a kid if they feel their government does things to make them safe, they'd probably go "dafuq?" or "no."
I am probably on the same side as you are, but I was trying to give TacoButtPlug a somewhat measured answer to a seemingly genuine question. I try to start out appearing as a lukewarm lunatic before cranking the heat up to raving.
To get your daily internet permit.
Can't he just go and update his ID? As long as Illuminati forehead has an ID that matches that trainwreck of a face it should work.
Uk doesn't have a universal id which is why they are using face recognition for the check.
You can provide a drivers licence but maybe the guy doesnt have one.
